Carlisle

Carlisle, released by Parfums de Marly in 2015, is mainly gourmand, with strong spicy and floral sides and smaller woody and amber touches.

The top notes are bright and warm: green apple gives a crisp, juicy freshness, and nutmeg and saffron a warm, leathery spice. In the heart, rose brings a velvety petal note, osmanthus a soft, apricot-like floral glow, davana a fruity, boozy herbal note and tonka bean an almond-like sweetness. The base is rich and enveloping: vanilla gives a creamy sweetness, patchouli an earthy depth and opoponax, or sweet myrrh, a soft, balsamic and powdery resin.

Most wearers report long-lasting wear, with some calling it almost endless, and the majority describe its sillage as strong. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn, and largely as a night scent. It is worn by anyone and suits evenings, formal occasions and cold weather, for people who like rich, spiced gourmand florals with rose, vanilla and patchouli, and who want a scent with real presence and warmth.
